The Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC) on Tuesday, 26th March conducted its first-ever Investment and Investor Aftercare forum, bringing together investors from across the country.

This Aftercare program, a pioneering initiative by the GIPC, aims to enhance investor confidence by providing ongoing support and assistance to companies post-investment, ensuring their needs are promptly addressed.

The primary objective of the Aftercare initiative is to facilitate the growth and expansion of investments in Ghana, thereby contributing significantly to economic development and job creation. The forum served as a platform to introduce a more structured and strategic approach to caring for investors, supporting their development, and facilitating efficient business operations within the country.

Mr. Yofi Grant, CEO of GIPC, emphasized the critical role of the Aftercare Service in ensuring the continued integration of investors into Ghana's business climate.

He highlighted that this service involves periodic monitoring and active engagement with existing investors to support their expansion and strengthen links between foreign businesses and local counterparts, ultimately providing an eco-friendly business environment for investors to thrive.

The forum also featured testimonials from beneficiaries of the Aftercare Service, such as Mr. Roja Aboujaoude, CEO of Malika Farms.

He expressed gratitude for the support received through the service and urged the government to continue providing the necessary assistance to ensure continued support for investors in the country.
